wlan configuration - qhr33k - 13-07-21
Hi everyone, i am new to the samplerbox, and can't connect to my wifi router. I just inserted the said name and passwd for my router in the wifinetwork.txt file, but the router refuses to assign an IP to the samplerbox, so when I check with ifconfig my wlan adapter has an unreachable IP. am I missing some something? The sampler itself is working, I managed to play samples an to add my samples to the samples dir, but I cannot access the webgui. Thanks in advance

Obviously you're missing something, otherwise it would work
I am surely missing details in your problem description ("here it works"), so just some general remarks as a first shot in the dark:
- it only works with PI's with builtin adapter. Using external adapters require extra setup
- use a plain text editor, wysiwyg editors can screw up text
- only update the proper section (with the protocol of your router)
- only change the strings between quotes, don't fancy things up with nice spaces or tabs
- mind upper/lower case
- restart the box for getting it work

Thank you very much for your quick answer, I am using an USB wifi adapter on a raspberry 2b. I got my raspberry connected to a screen and a keyboard, using nano to edit the wifi file. i get an error message on screen after the boot, "ieee80211 failed to request Firmware", it is probably the wifi adapter, but the wlan adapter shows up if i do ifconfig -a, the IP address is out of reach being 10.19.59.3. You know what: i can live without the webgui. Actually tinkering on the sample definition parameters. This sampler is wonderful and very powerful, i love it, congrats to the developers, thanks for making it available to the world, incredible i can have such a powerful instrument for the cost of a raspberry pi.
